Here's the thing. If ninety percent of the tickets were sold, you and others might get more aggressive about buying them now, which would seem to be good for the festival. If twenty percent of the tickets were sold, you might think this will never sell out, wait to buy a ticket, not be aggressive and then later if something comes up, you haven't bought the ticket yet so no big deal for you. But that would seem to be not as good for the festival. So with your question you are asking the management two things, to admit that sales are slow, thereby shooting themselves in the proverbial foot, or to acknowledge that sales are very brisk so you know if you need to be aggressive. Most events tell you tickets are going FAST, even when they aren't. Many performances have been advertised here on the phorum, and i don't remember even one saying before the show, we have only sold ten tickets so far, don't worry about buying in advance.

So just assume that tickets are going fast. Don't ask management to belittle themselves, it's innapropriate, Tickets are almost gone, get yours right now or risk missing the best weekend of the summer!

I'm curious what the sell out point is. The venue has seemed to get a lot smaller the past couple years with the attendance growing. I'm wondering how much longer the festival will fit at Booneville. It's going to sell out some time in the near future like Reggae On The River used too. This festival has been on a steady growth each each and the line up is growing with it. The production team is doing thigs right.

I would love to have it back in Marysville or somewhere with water....now they closed off that backside camping and that sucks. Cramming people into these teeny tiny sites now too. I remember when you could really set up a decent site with some yahoo! pretending to be peaceful while being passive aggressive tell us to move in closer to one another

The nice part about camping at Anderson valley is you can drive in and out with your car and go to the river down the street a few miles away. I hang out in the Navarro river all day and check out the show from 6 pm on when it cools down. Camping on site kinda sucks IMO.

Marysville was a crappy venue in comparrison. More cops, more crime, theft, fights, less community involvement and support. Too much badmind behavior. Only thing it had was a muddy river....here, more shade, no hills to climb, way way less dusty. believe it or not cops are much friendlier and concerned with saftey and not the quick bust.

I have been going to SNWMF since before Apple Gabriel joined Skelly and Wiss on stage in Marysville, I havent missed a year since. Sadly if SNWMF moved back to Marysville me and I am sure many others will no longer attend.

Anderson Valley is such a beautiful place, and the drive to the ocean through the Redwood forest tunnel, and the local wineries are wonderful, as wel as, of course, the brewery, the breakfast place, apple farm....Oh yeah, HENDY WOODS! Boonville is a perfect venue. We often take the long way to the ocean from Willits just for the drive through Anderson Valley.

Marysville=Dusty ,dusty and more dust . The community were not friendly at all. Thanks god for Mendocino community and the beauty of the area is just Niceness.

I think you're referring to Angel's Camp there Tarzan. Marysville was nice, expansive camping on green grass, had a river flowing by, and an awesome music bowl. If you take the local thugs out of the equation, the venue was sweet!

The Marysville "Venue" it self was probably the best venue so far IMO! Its Just in the wrong Location!
Location... Location... Location... If that Venue had been on the outskirts of any other Small friendly town...
Forget About It~>!!!
